Description

ONE-OF-A-KIND

If you’re looking for something special, a one-bedroom with flair and ambiance, one with outdoor space where you can have your own garden, an extra-large one-bedroom with a double-sized bathroom for two, with a kitchen and dining area made for company, and open views from a wall of windows.you might think that’s too much to ask for, right? But you can have it all here!

Wait, there’s more!
Exceptional closet (seven) and storage space with a HUGE walk-in closet in the bedroom, gorgeous wide-planked oak floors throughout the home except in
the dining and kitchen area where you will find terracotta tiles, so perfect to lead out to your very own terrace where you can enjoy your morning coffee, and
evening cocktail, if you like.

And then there is the building. 501 East 79th has recently completed a magnificent renovation of the entire fa ade, lobby, elevators and roof-deck. Originally built as a co-op in 1959, it is now one of the most beautiful post-war buildings in the area. Because it was always a co-op, the developers made the rooms larger, the layout more gracious, and had fewer apartments per floor, as they were meant to be sold, not rented.

This co-op has always been a 100% owner occupied building, and owns the commercial space below, which affords it a great deal of income. The maintenance for the shareholders is reasonable and includes all utilities, including ELECTRIC. Other features of the building include: A beautiful roof-deck, 24 hour concierge, live-in superintendent, bike storage, central laundry, and is pet and pied-a-terre friendly.

There is a private garage with a waiting list, and many 24 hour garages on the block. The location is fabulous with excellent restaurants, shopping, food markets, parks, library, a post-office, all within a block or two. Public bus transportation is across the street and subways (the Q and Lexington Ave Line) are close as well.

No flip tax.
